Viewing Notes

Very uncomfortable watch due to the prevalent misogyny. Super curious how Patrick Warburton got involved with this project as this is possible the most despicable character he’s ever portrayed (why did he take the part?). Super low budget despite a B-grade cast that makes me think they were providing favors by participate. The SOV / handheld approach really lends a cheapness in addition to the title cards that appear with weird typeface.

Overall a bizarre indie film that isn’t terrible but not good. Just very ugly. Can’t recommend it.
